Sinopsis

Excerpt from Thomas Ruddle of Shebbear: A North Devon Arnold; His Life and Selections From His Letters

Mr. Ruddle, must have given rise to the sug gestion that the writer should undertake so re sponsible a task as that attempted in this volume. It has, however, been a veritable labour of love, though performed amid the distraction of many duties.

Limitations of space have forbidden the inclusion of quotations from Mr. Ruddle's numerous articles which lie scattered through out the pages of various magazines. They have been collected, however, and if any desire for their publication should manifest itself, a second volume will be forthcoming. Such is the freshness and vigour of these articles that, as they are read to-day, they not only rekindle the old fervour and glow of bygone days, but are singularly apposite to present-day needs and thought. The story of the man can never be regarded as complete until the working of his mind upon literary, social, educational, and theological subjects has been unfolded.

Excerpt from Thomas Ruddle of Shebbear: A North Devon Arnold; His Life and Selections From His Letters

Thomas Ruddle left no autobiography. On the contrary, he seems to have been at some pains to destroy such records and correspondence relating to himself as might have been of service in narrating the story of his life. Fortunately, however, many of his letters have been preserved by the two friends on the other side of the globe to whom he probably wrote at greatest length and with greatest freedom during his long career at Shebbear. Sir Samuel James Way, Chief Justice of South Australia, has kindly lent a considerable number of these, and the Rev. John Thorne, of Adelaide, son of the Rev. James Thorne, and Mr. Ruddle's oldest friend at Shebbear, an even greater number. Much of the information thus obtained has been inter woven with this narrative. Some portions of the letters are given at the end of this volume and together with one to Sir Robert White-Thomson and a few to his Old Boys will, no doubt, constitute the most interesting and valuable portion of the book. For the rest, the chief aim of the writer has been to present in as many lights as so brief a narrative will permit, the portrait of a man whose influence over the lives of those who came in contact with him was very remarkable.
